Many people are rightly concerned about the excessive use of plastic bags. In an effort to reduce the number of bags going to landfills, several Etsy jewelry artisans now offer various creations made from recycled plastic bags.
Many of the designs are created by crocheting strips of "yarn" made from grocery bags or by fusing the plastic. Either way, these are eco chic designs!
